So this year we both have had the privilege of joining and amazing blogging community run by the two most amazing, helpful and supportive blogging ladies ever, aka Georgie from In It 4 the Long Run and Christina from The Blissful Balance. Words cannot describe how much we enjoy being apart of the “Bloggers Gonna Blog” community. We gained so much blogging knowledge, confidence and most importantly, we got to “meet” so many blogging friends!

Anyways, for the Christmas season, many of the ladies in the BGB Community got together for a Secret Santa. We were so excited to participate and we had the privilege of having Brie from Lean, Clean and Brie as our Secret Santa ( head over to her blog to see what we got her!). We were stoked to come home after finals week with an awesome package from Les who blogs at the Balanced Berry.

Is Christmas coming all ready? I feel like I just started this semester a week ago!

Time really does fly when your having fun studying your bum off. At least hard work pays off (I hope!). I’m glad to be almost done and can’t wait to focus on making many more delicious recipes for you. With that said, Christmas is just around the corner and I feel like a little kid again. I get so excited this time of year, not because of the presents but because it just seems like everyone is so happy, I blame it on the holiday desserts. Every one loves desserts and Christmas is filled with tons of desserts and desserts make people happy. Am I right or am I right?

What could make people happier that tasty homemade Chocolate Gingerbread Cups? It’s like your chocolate and gingerbread got married and had a baby! They are like the holiday version of a peanut butter cup, and who doesn’t love peanut butter cups?

Oh it doesn’t also hurt to mention that these Chocolate Gingerbread Cups are healthy, but you would never guess because they taste so decadent and delicious!

Here are 14 Healthy Sweet Potato Side Dish recipes for you and your family to enjoy by amazing healthy food bloggers!

Making cupcakes for a christmas eve family party has been a tradition of my ever since I knew how to use an oven. I usually like to get creative and come up with cool unique flavors. This year is going to be a little different because I’m making healthy cupcakes. I’m sacrificing artificial ingredients, added sugars, and

artery clogging fat, without sacrificing flavor. And I’m 99% sure my family will not even notice it. They will only be focused on the dense doughy texture, the sweet caramel inside and the cinnamon-sugary glaze on top!

With christmas peeking behind the corner, I just couldn’t help myself getting into the christmas spirit a little early. I always look forward to baking desserts for holiday parties, but this year things are going to be a tad different. Instead of using tons of butter and unhealthy ingredients, my plan is create healthy clean eating recipes without my family evening knowing! The same great taste but way less calories and tons of health benefits! Peppermint is one of the official flavors of Christmas so what better way then to make healthy clean eating peppermint brownies? Packed with loads of health benefits like fiber, vitamins, healthy fats and so on, you won’t know they are healthy!

With Thanksgiving and Christmas quickly approaching, I am always looking for new and unique gifts to give out to my family and friends. I always love making some kind of holiday food in a healthy way! I decided to adapt a gingerbread spice almond recipe that I found on the internet, making it with whole and better-for-you ingredients. I am sure that everyone from young to old will enjoy these gingerbread spiced treats! No one will know that they are the least bit healthy because they are so delicious! These are the perfect treat to bring to your Thanksgiving/Christmas parties or are a great gift!
